The employment of Wigert illustrates social and gender related issues. There was an initial difficulty to enroll female singers because the profession had a low status in the 18th-century. Wigert also illustrate the fact that people from the upper class participated in the Opera project of the king. Similar to the case of Elisabeth Olin, Wigert was a member of the upper class, and though she herself was willing to participate, her employment was delayed by the disapproval of "Two old powder-witches" in her family. Eventually, she was given a contract which stipulated that she would be allowed to resign whenever her family wished her to, as long as she participated in the inauguration performance. After Doris in Thetis och Pélée, in the inauguration performance of the Opera 18 January 1773, (where she played opposite Carl Stenborg (Pélée), Elisabeth Olin (Thetis), Lars Lalin (Jupiter), (Neptune), (Mercury), (Elisabeth) Betty Olin (Amor) and Hans Björkman and Johan Filip Lising). She continued to play "many demanding parts". Among her parts where performed some theatre parts, during a period when the Opera offered this. Her best remembered part was the title role of Mérope by Voltaire in the 1777–78 season after her marriage, where according to the papers, she "was given lively approval" by the audience.

- Hedvig Christina Wigert, född Falk i februari 1748, död 4 januari 1780 i Stockholm, var en svensk operasångerska, en av den gustavianska operans primadonnor. Hon gifte sig med kassören Gustaf Wigert 1776. Wigert tillhörde den allra första grupp solister som anställdes då Kungliga Operan öppnades 1773. Liksom Elisabeth Olin var hon då redan en professionell sångare och nämns som ”en för musikalisk talang redan tidigare känt fruntimmer”. Gustav III ville ha henne för rollen som Doris, och ”mamsell Falk” ville gärna bli aktris, men ”två gamla puderhäxor” i familjen ville hindra henne, och hon fick ett löfte att kunna dra sig tillbaka från scenen när familjen Falk ville det, om hon bara medverkade i Operans öppningspjäs. Hon medverkade i den berömda operan Thetis och Pelée vid Operans invigning 18 januari 1773 i rollen som gudinnan Doris. Hon gjorde sedan ”många andra maktpåliggande roller”, bland andra Mérope i Mérope av Voltaire översatta av Adolf Fredrik Ristell och Flintberg under 1777–78 års spelår, där hon ”skördade lifligt bifall” samt Coridon i Acis och Galathea och Eurydike i Orpheus och Eurydike. Hon beröms för sitt ”nobla” sätt att uppträda. (sv)
